Four therapies to keep children away from acute bronchitis.
General treatment: pay attention to rest, maintain a good surrounding environment, change positions frequently, drink plenty of water, and supplement a lot of vitamin C.

Third, symptomatic treatment. Resolving phlegm and relieving cough is the key to symptomatic treatment. Compound licorice mixture, acute syrup or ambroxol can be used, and infants can be given drugs by atomizing inhalation. To promote expectoration, antitussive drugs, such as opioids and codeine, are not recommended to promote secretion discharge.
Fourth, anti-asthma You can inhale β -receptor agonist by atomization, or you can take Quan Li Ning orally or inject aminophylline intravenously. Children with severe wheezing can use glucocorticoid in a short time, such as oral prednisone, and some anti-allergic drugs can also be used.

For some children with more serious conditions, they can choose the way of atomizing inhalation, and they can also be cured in 7- 10d. The treatment of acute bronchitis in children mainly involves anti-asthma, relieving cough and resolving phlegm, symptomatic treatment and general treatment, etc. Usually, it is not recommended to relieve cough, dilute sputum by atomizing inhalation, and cough can promote sputum discharge.
